About the Author

Tohko Mizuno made her mangaka debut with Night Walk, which ran in Lunatic LaLa magazine in 1995. Showcasing her delicate line work and use of rich textures and patterns, the quasi-historical Haruka is Mizuno's first serialized manga and is based on a video game of the same name. It has spawned several books, including a fanbook, a super guidebook, and a collection of illustrations. Mizuno is also the author of Mukashi, Oboronaru Otoko Arikeri (Once Upon a Time, There Was a Hazy Man).
